Good morning all

We have a new challenge starting today at

Fab'n'Funky Challenges

our theme is 

Ribbon or Lace

My daughter asked me to make a wedding card for a friend in a shabby chic style

- always a favourite of mine - I loved ma.king this

the inside

the box

I made this card almost entirely with papers, dies, stamps and embellishments from the Sara Davies Shabby Chic collection from Crafter's Companion.  With the addition of some die cut buttons, distress inks and word dies it went together very easily - and the bride loved it!!

We have a lovely sponsor this week who will provide a voucher to spend instore at 

so you can stock up o  those ribbons and bows!

Hope you'll join in with our challenge this week -I'm looking forward to seeing lots of pretty lace and ribbons

Embossing (wet or dry at Moving along with the Times

Good morning all

And here I am again - two days in a row after after nothing for weeks - I'm putting the effort in to get back on track after my hollies : )

We have a new challenge starting today over at 

Moving along with the Times

our theme this time is 

Embossing 

(wet or dry)

my card has both - just for good measure!

I made this card a while ago and kept it for this challenge as I knew i'd be struggling to catch up.  

it's made with the Sara Davies Signature Shabby Chic range from Crafter's Companion

The dies are all dry embossed then 'wet embossed' with Stampendous Frantage powder for that real shabby chic look! - this is such a lovely range and makes it easy to create that Shabby Chic look - I know some people find it difficult to put together 

What I did.....

Papers and image in centre of heart - 12x12 Shabby chic paper pad

Heart die - Die'sire essentials from Crafter's Companion

Dies all fro the Shabby Chic range except the heart

Stamp and flowers Shabby Chic from Crafter's Companion

Hope you'll play along with us this challenge - can't wait to see what you make!!
